Zebra Finch Colors
Basic Colors The normal male bird has a gray upper body and wings. The belly is white. The beak and legs are a red-orange color. On each side of the head is a cheek patch. There is a 'tear drop' mark under the eye. This is a brown/tan/fawn color commonly called orange. The flanks/sides of the bird just below the wings, is a chestnut (orange) colored area with white dots. The chest is black and white stripped like a zebra, hence the name zebra finch. A truly beautiful bird! The female also has a gray upper body and wings with a white belly. The beak and legs are the same red-orange color but not as deep color, lighter. She has a black 'tear drop' mark under the eye. The most noticable differences between males and females are the cheek patches and the chest striping. There are many color variations. Most of the color variations are simply a change in color of one or more of the part...
